Stem cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary new treatment approach for neurological and spinal disorders. One up-and-coming method of administering stem cells is an intrathecal application, which involves injecting the cells directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This technique allows the stem cells to travel throughout the CSF and reach the brain and spinal cord, making it ideal for …
Back-to-work Blues? Deadly Heart attacks more common on Mondays
Recent studies indicate a higher prevalence of severe heart attacks, particularly on Mondays, at the onset of the workweek. Irish physicians delved into the medical records of more than 10,000 patients throughout Ireland who were hospitalized between 2013 and 2018 due to acute myocardial infarction. A ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), is characterized by the total obstruction of a crucial …
Fractalkine Chemokine Signaling Compound to Promote Remyelination
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease primarily affecting myelin and myelin-producing cells known as oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord, is known to cause symptoms of varying severity. Manifestations can range from relatively mild symptoms, such as numbness and blurred vision, to more severe complications, including paralysis and memory problems. This debilitating disease affects approximately 3.2 million individuals worldwide. …
Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs)
Wharton’s Jelly, a gelatinous substance found within the umbilical cord, is a rich mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) source. These MSCs possess unique properties that make them a valuable tool in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and immunomodulation. Lets discuss some advantages and applications of Wharton’s Jelly stem cells along with methods used for extraction and utilization in clinical applications[1]. Clinical application …

Low blood sugar in diabetics leads to retinopathy & eye disease
People with diabetes type 1 or II who suffer periods of low blood sugar are more prone to develop diabetic eye damage. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have found that low blood sugar levels results in activation of a biochemical pathway in oxygen-starved retinal cells. The research used entire retinas that were cultured in a low glucose environment, and low …
